This article really crawled under my skin a decade ago and stayed there. If one likes that feeling, this is a great read. If not, do not read.

I get a 401 error with that link, but when I visit it from a search engine it's fine. I think they may have blocked referrals from HN, so if you see that message, try copying-and-pasting the URL into a new tab / window / incognito window. I read this a while ago, and as other say, it's worth it.


bizzarely the owner has put it behind a password login in the past few minutes. Still on the archive tho:

Because of ai companies' web crawlers overloading their bandwidth ?


I use Smart Referer to disable this, but the extension appears to be unmaintained:

Anyone know of a reputable replacement?


This was a great read, thank you for sharing it!
